The Officiating…

…is bad and getting worse. I’ve watched a handful of games over these two days and a number of them (won’t say which) have been badly swung and even decided by a questionable to blatantly bad call here and there.

This is leads to the question if there is anything that can be done to improve upon this? The obvious answer is instant replay and I know many will scoff at this. But if it’s blatant during a livestream, how can it not be so during a live game where many of times teams have endzone cameras that offer an additional vantage point?

You can sign up to use your expertise as an official. I'm sure they can use you Ed Hoculi

Oh, there are tons of others on here. Loll

But really reply wouldn't happen. That cost money. Teachers would rather they be paid more than a tv reply for a football game

You could probably say much the same thing about far too many coaches too. There is malpractice littering the prep sports scene throughout the Golden State.

The issue is there is a shortage of Ref’s out there and there and not many young people getting into it….

It’s tough and I agree with you, so many bad calls but what can you do…. Replay would be a good idea, but that doesn’t help on the Ridiculous Calls and Non calls for penalties and the Ref’s botching the rules….

But there guys are older and the game is moving too fast, they just can’t see everything…. That’s why I just try to let it all go… But if I am a PITT fan today, I am pissed!….

But yes, replay would be great, they use in in GA but only on televised games….

Saint Francis fans should be pissed too. Just saying

Okay, since someone else brought it up. Last night the worst reffing in any game I have seen. From the play a whistle Oakdale players stopped because of it. They then completed pass for first down. They let play stand? In the second half it felt like they were making makeup calls? First half it was like Oakdale was playing the Kansas City!

How much money do refs make per game?

Somewhere around $100 is what I have been told…. It’s not much….

A premium should be put on

wow sounds like a premium should be placed on officiating. They are vital to the game!
